Upcoming Events/Speakers
Love to kayak? Love the Boyne River? Are you an experienced paddler?
JOIN US on Saturday, August 16, from 9a-12pm for our annual Boyne River Sweep! We meet at the Veterans Park boat launch to coordinate efforts. Bring your kayak, pfd, and your own transportation to Dam Road. We’ll have a canoe to hold large items. We take out on Pearl St. to gather the garbage and snap a photo, then carpool back for vehicles. If you prefer, walk along the riverbanks at Dam Road or other crossings to collect litter. Hope to see you there! Questions? Call Adam at 231-330-2876.
Wednesday, September 10, 7pm at the Boyne District Library
